However, it works well for audio with a single speaker, when words are spoken consistently at regular conversational pace. If we can convert our multi-speaker, noisy audio into a clear single-speaker audio input, we will be in a better place.

Connect your headphones to your computer and turn on Transcribe’s dictation feature by clicking on the green “Dictate” button.

Now, repeat what you hear in your headphones into your microphone. You are now effectively converting your source audio into a single voice (your voice) and giving it as input to the voice recognition engine which is trained to recognize a single speaker.

Of course, the recognition can still be a little off, so be prepared to go over your dictation-transcription a second time to correct typos and add in punctuation and formatting.

When you first click on the “Dictate” button in Transcribe, Chrome will ask you permission to let Transcribe access your microphone. Make sure you click on “Allow”:

As a bonus, the dictation engine supports several languages including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Chinese, French, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Russian. If you would like us to add support for another language please let us know.
